THE COVER FOR THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ON THE REAR WINDOW DOES NOT STAY ATTACHED TO MY 2016 CIVIC COUPE. I BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN IT LIMITS MY VISIBILITY IN REAR VIEW MIRROR.

THIS IS ESPECIALLY BAD ON THE HIGHWAY AT A SLIGHT DOWN GRADE WHERE IT CAN OBSTRUCT THE ENTIRE HIGHWAY BEHIND YOU. ONCE AGAIN, HARD TO EXPLAIN UNLESS YOU LIVE IN A HILLY AREA AND EXPERIENCE THIS. DURING THE NIGHT THE REAR WINDOW IS FLOODED WITH RED LIGHT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THERE IS AN ENTIRE WEBSITE RELATED TO JUST THIS ISSUE. 7/26/2016 - JUST GOT BACK FROM THE DEALER WHERE THEY "FIXED IT WITH ANOTHER PART" - THIS DIDN'T MAKE IT OUT OF THE PARKING LOT OF THE DEALER BEFORE IT WAS BOUNCING AROUND AGAIN - AMERICAN HONDA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THIS CORRECTLY WITH A NEWLY DESIGNED PART.
